so for the 411, we tracked down our own cnn legal contributor, paul cal "outfront" with us now. >> with my cell phone. >> with your cell phone. somebody tracking you as we speak, my friend. is this a nefarious, sneaky thing, or is this a good thing? >> you know, my civil libertarian juices started flowing when i first heard about this story. you know, law enforcement violating the rights of american people. but i was talking to a close friend who is a prosecutor in new york, who was just kind of throwing the cold water in my face. and what he said was, this is ridiculous. he said, you know, they're talking about 1.3 million requests being made, nationwide, we're a country of about 314 million people, i think. so it's less than, you know -- less than half a percent of the population. by the way, over 2 million people are in priso in the united states. so it's less even than the percentage of convicted felons who are imprisoned. and these are situations where the court, judges have approved court orders and subpoenas and search warrants for these records. frankly, i don't see a problem. >

. >> well, if you have an out front strategy, jim acosta pushed him on issue of tax returns here on cnn. i wanted to play what jim got him to say. >> i've already put out one year of tax returns. we'll put out the next year of tax returns as soon as the accountants have that ready. and that's what we're going to put out. i know that there will always be calls for more. we're putting out what is required, plus more that is not required. those are the two years that people are going to have. that's all that's necessary for people to understand something about my finances. >> okay. made it very clear you're only getting two years. by the way, i, everybody, have the tax returns. everything that we have. it is a big stack. but homany months does it take? the guy's running for president. it's been three months after tax day. where are they? >> also, there's a precedent actually set by his father of 12 years of tax returns to really put it all out there. kill people with kindness. put it all out there. rather than dragging the feet, two years, and it makes it look like you're hiding something.

roland martin is here, cnn contributor and allison stewart, republican analyst. roland, explain the basics. people with a driver's license have a picture, they may be saying, i don't understand this. how could 1.4 million people not have a photo id? tell me who these people are. >> well, a lot of people don't have it because you're not necessarily required. you're talking about senior citizens. you're also talking about any number of minorities because if you're not having a checking account, you're not showing it. i'm a native of texas. i'm in houston right now. they also don't allow a student id, erin. now, the georgia law allowed for the public university students to use their student id but not private schools. but in texas, you can use your gun permit id to be able to vote but not a student id. that's what's so crazy. but also the legislature in passing this bill bypassed the normal procedure of two-thirds voting to approve the bill. they bypassed that to get this in. and so it raises the question, why would you do that -- why would you go against your norma

i want to read new poll numbers to you from cnn. when asked who would better handle health care, 51% of registered voters say obama, and 44% say romney. but more importantly, 65% of non-white voters would like to keep all the provisions in place. do these numbers concern you as a representative from a swing district? >> they don't, john, in the sense that i espouse the goals of the 2010 law. they're the right goals. every american should have good, affordable health care. and affordable health care insurance. that's not in question. but that law is a bad law. bluntly it imposes $2 trillion worth of bureaucracy that takes resources directly away from care. so there are smarter and better ways to achieve those goals. that's what i'm for. >> let's talk about that. you're a doctor. you have unique insight through your medical practice into the way medicine really works. >> right. >> and mitt romney and his advisers have said they do support certain popular provisions, keeping kids on their parents' insurance till the age of 26, making i

cnn contributor fran townsend is a member of the cia external advisory board. can you explain what those are? we all have a concept of what drones are in the air, but what are sea drones? >> this is a commercially available product that obviously is going to supplement. you talked about the mine sweeping ships. a sea drone which what you don't want to have happen is have a mine sweeper miss a mine and go over it and have it detonate. so these sea drones are used. they can go to deep depths. hundreds of feet. they go in front of the ship and around it. so they -- they're sort of the canary in the mine, if you will. they go under water, very deep, look for these mines. if they find it, they detonate it and they destroy themselves and it protects the ship. >> sort of hovering in the water with sensors. hence the word "drone." the u.s. military seems a little schizophrenic to me, to be honest. they brag about it, then they don't want to talk about it. >> as you list the assets, they're hard to hide, right, aircraft carriers, mine sweepers, forward operating bases.

a new cnn poll shows 60% of people are optimistic and think economic conditions next year will be good. one reason for this is housing. it's a little ironic, perhaps, because the housing market is what got our economy in this crisis back in 2008. but here are a couple of numbers that really might add up. pending home sales in may hit their highest level in the past two years, according to the national association of realtors. and we saw gains across the entire country. and not just specific regions. and the most recent s&p case-shiller index, which really is the benchmark for housing prices, shows that home values rose on a month-to-month basis in april for the first time this year. you add on to all of that 30-year mortgage rates. when you look at those, they're at a record low. a percent lower than a year ago. homes are more affordable. stuart miller is the ceo of home building giant will henar and also a member of our strike team and told used to, quote, housing is at least stabilizing. i think if housing continues its current trajectory, it will assume its traditional role of leadi
